I Thought Love Was Patient 🥀 "I Forgot That People Die..." | Sound of Moc

Описание: “I thought love was patient… I forgot that people die.” A quiet confession from an old man who did everything right — except loving in time.

This is a minimalist piano ballad about emotional absence, late realization, and the kind of regret that arrives when it’s already too quiet to fix anything. There is no performance here. No drama. No climax. Just an elderly voice at a piano, confessing what men are never taught to say out loud: waiting too long is also a choice.

🎼 THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG We grow up believing love is about being responsible. Paying the bills. Keeping promises. Staying. But this song asks a harder question: What if love needed courage more than patience? The empty house remembers what he didn’t give. The cup by the sink waits for lips that will never return. And time — once trusted — finally reveals its cruelty.

This song is for anyone who ever said “later” and thought later would wait.

🎹 MUSICAL ARRANGEMENT

🎙️ Vocal: Elderly Male (75–80) — fragile baritone, breath-heavy, emotionally exposed.

📜 LYRICS: I THOUGHT LOVE WAS PATIENT [Intro] They used to say love is patient. I believed them. I just didn’t know… people aren’t.

[Verse 1] I learned to wait, to hold my place To do things right, to take my time I thought love worked the same way If you meant it, it would stay in line I chose the long and careful road The one that looked like “being wise” You stood beside me, quietly With questions living in your eyes

[Verse 2] I paid my bills, I kept my word I never once ran from my name I fixed the things the world could see And called that love, and called it safe You never asked for grand displays Just honesty I couldn’t give I thought if I stayed and didn’t leave That was proof enough to live

[Pre-Chorus] They don’t tell men that waiting too long Is another way to choose Some hearts don’t break from being hurt They break from being used

[Chorus] I thought love was patient I thought time was kind I thought if I meant it deeply It would somehow read my mind I saved my heart for later Like later would arrive I thought love was patient I forgot that people die

[Verse 3] Now the house remembers you Better than I ever did Your cup still sits beside the sink Like it expects your lips Every clock feels personal Every sound feels slow I was never late for work But always late to show

[Pre-Chorus 2] Some lessons come so quietly They never sound like fear Until the one you loved is gone And silence stays right here

[Final Chorus] I thought love was patient Like it didn’t need a voice Like silence was a language And waiting was a choice If I had known how fragile Forever really is I’d have loved you when you asked me to Not when I finally did

[Outro] They say love is patient. Maybe it is. But I wasn’t brave enough To love… while there was still time.
